RABBI HIRsCH HARRIS died last week
in Brooklyn, aged 100 years. He was
born near Warsaw, Poland, and was
one of twenty-onc children. When
Napoleon was on the march to Moscow
in 1872 eight of his brothers were con-
scripted, but Hirsch was warned while
returning from work and hid himself,
his wife, and child, and escaped. He
saw Napoleon ride through the village,
however, and up till a year ago was in
the habit of describing his appearance;
then his memory failed.

It is announced at Des Moines that Hon.
John W. Akers, state superintendent of

to the nomination of Prof. Fellows, of Iowa

An attempt was made to wreck the east
bound train of the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific near Iowa City Monday morning.
The plot seems to have been to precipitats
the train into the Iowa river. AS the train
approached the long bridge over the stream
the engineer observed a misI Ilacement of
the rail on the right side few lengths from
the bridge. and managed to bring the train
to full stop before reaching the structure.
On investigation it was found that spikes
had been pulled from three rails, which
would have been sufficient to throw the
train into the river. The guilty parties are
unknown.

In connection with the plan to form
a Walt Whitman Society in Boston the
Traveller of thatcity says: ''Boston pro-
hibits the sale of Walt Whitman's books.
Even their circulation from the public
library is forbidden, and his volumes
appear there with the ominous three
stars that tell the tale to the iniated.
The idea of establishing society for
the promotion of ideas which the stat
utes of the city forbid to circulate is
simply delicious. Boston is nothing if

The Buda-Pesth correspondent of
the New York Staats-Zeitung, member
OF the Hungarian Diet, thus speaks of
the Hungarian Premier: .tThe most
powerful man in the Empire is today
beyond any doubt Koloman Tisza, the
President of the Hungarian Ministry.
He is for Hungary pretty much what
Cayour was when King Victor En-
manuel said of him: 'We have con-
stitution, two Chambers, an Admins
tration, and a judiciary, and all this to-
gether is called Cavour.' Everything
in the Hungarian Empire put together
is called Tisza."

THE Fisheries muddle seems hard to
settle. As We outlined months ago,
an agreement between the Imperial
Government OF Great Britain and that
of the United States is easily reached.
But the two powers are not likely to
reach any basis OF settlement to which
the Dominion of Canada will assent.
To the United States the whole affair
is OF the merest bagatelle order. The
same is true of England's interest in
the matter. Canada wants to make
the Fisheries dispute pou-Sio
from which to move the United States
to grant concessions of thousand
times the value OF the fisheries to US.
The English Commissioner seems to
see the injustice OF the demands made
by the colony. Probably the best
way to deal with the provinces would
be to let them have all the fisheries
they want and then inaugurate sys-
tenn of commercial reprisals on their
dealings with us. They would speed
lily see the point and come to their
milk.

Mr.. CLEvELAND's advancing Fair

viii be approved by the people in al
parts OF the Union. Mr.. Fairchild
paid off the National debt at most
surprising pace during the entire
period when he had the power. Calls
for bonds fell thick and fast until the
heavy surplus in the Treasury was
reduced to the zero point. 1t
was only when there were
no more to call that the dulcet
notes OF this able official ceased to
vibrate en- the circumambient air.
II was he who then devised the excel.
leut expedient of purchasing bonds in
the open market and who thus returned
the funds to the channels OF trade.
The people may rest assured that as a
Cabinet officer Mr.. Fairchild will prove
faithful to the public interests.

fered injustice take the matter into

was no alloy in the pain. BY all ac-
counts the building of the Panama
canal is mere child's play to what
this would be. The Greytown har-
Dor is filed with sand, and there
would be no harbor to shelter vessels
at the Gulf mouth of the canal.
7 lere are three rivers as bad as
the Chagres to cross. 1t would re-
quire several locks TO get ship across
the Nicaraguan route. And for nearly
one hundred miles inland from Grey
town the canal would have to be bull
through a swamp as deep and soft as
the Serbonian bog. Whatever ques
ton there may be of de l.esscps' wis
dom, there seems to be no room fol
any as to that of those who seriously
propose the Nicaraguau route.

How pathetic is the interest de-
| veloped by the White-plumed poll
tician as in his wanderings in a far-oii
land, he discourses so feelingly OF the
plowman in the furrow deriving
strength for his labor from a Urge
Quid OF "fine-cut," or a succulent
chunk" of "navy plug?" He roars
as gently as a sucking dove ,ainst
the proposition to keep the revenue
on the fragrant weed which the miner
causes to fume from his pipe at
the mouth OF some dark hole whence
Ohio coal is dug. "Jim's" employees
in the Hooking valley, by all accounts,
need some solace. But Blaine thinks
the line must be drawn somewhere.
"Deleterious luxnries, we believe, he
used to call these things in the last
campaign. The poor man is to have
his solace from the soporific opiate con-
tanned in the nicotine OF the fragrant.
But when it comes to the cup that
cheers and exc inebriates-"Well he
draws the line at that" The "delit-
erious luxury" OF the pipe shall be
a sacred trust to be held for the poor
Hooking Valley miner, but the de
literious luxury" OF the bottle is to
be put as far from his weary grasp as
can be. Now, ten to one, when Blaine
gets home he will be taken for Ben
Butler. He will be found to have
contracted strabismic habit OF vision,
as sure as fate. Just Think OF the
optical strain it must have been
while he penned his left-handed
''messa &C." with his left eve on the
good Maine churchwomen, who
favor Prohibition, and his right optic
on the foreign vote, to whom he con-
cee1s tobacco, on the principle OF
throwing tub to whale. We do
not speak OF the attempt to keep in
view the tobacco growers OF the bor-
der States. Who shall henceforth
say that this Truthful Jeems" is no.
man OF large breadth between the
